Developer NetherRealm has revealed Quan Chi as he latest character added to the Mortal Kombat X roster.

Quan Chi, a sorcerer, uses spells to create standard fireballs and another projectile that lures players in. His powers can also be used to summon beasts, but perhaps the most inventive application of his repertoire is using portals to punch people from distance.

The character first appeared as a boss on the N64 game Mythologies: Sub-Zero, and was later introduced as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 4.

In the video above, the project’s executive producer Shaun Himmerick offers an outline of Quan Chi’s powers.

Mortal Kombat X’s release date is marked for April 14, 2015, with it set to ship on Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Along with series incumbents Scorpion and Sub-Zero, a host of new characters have been announced for the game, such as D’Vorah, Ferra/Torr, Cassie Cage and Kotal Kahn. Familiar faces, such as Raiden and Kano, are also returning to the series. Former boss Goro will be a playable character for those who pre-order.
